Pockets and ankle hems done. Didn’t bother to buy matching thread just used up so light blue -it was always going to be quick and dirty #visiblemending. The embroidery stars for the holes are harder that I hoped on the stretchy fabric but that’s next. Pockets a little smaller than planner but will take a tissue which was the only real requirement!

Turned up hems with visible row of lighter blue handstitching

@kate are there good hash tags to follow for it?

@rooster

What a good question. It’s probably about hashtagS, and labelling of what the practice is. Knitters knit etc.

Now I’m curious to know what others find helpful. I follow people more than hashtags, and then when I find someone’s making something I notice if they’re sharing it to a hashtag and I’ll amble in that direction.

#compostodon for people making something of waste is one you might not think of. And I notice the makers of #solarpunk and the #visiblemending community.

I had a lot of scrap yarn to use up and a disintegrating hoodie and things got a bit out of hand. #crochet #visiblemending

@anderlandbooks Thank you very much! When I presented #visibleMending at a festival, a designer approached me and asked if I knew the legendary record cover of Neil Young.
This #fashion was my childhood and certainly influenced me.

Old b/w photo of Neil Young in his legendary visibly mended jeans and some guitars. It's the only proof that the jeans existed. Collectors tried to find it in vain, it would have been worth a lot of money.

Finally got around to mending my hoodie today. I'm not mad at the results. #VisibleMending

#ScribesAndMakers 9/25. How would you describe your #fashion sense?

I don't follow #trends and I don't let anyone tell me what to wear. It has to be comfortable, made from natural fibres. I mostly buy second-hand and I love #upcycling and #visibleMending.

Sometimes I wear boring grey or leggings, sometimes I get compliments like "how dare you at your age!" Then I dare even more: I do love colours! I love jeans.

#slowFashion #secondHand #FastFashionSucks #solarpunk

A bright green patch with red intuitive stitching covers a hole in a dark blue linen shirt. Why throw clothes away when you can embellish them with visible mending!

A checked blazer in English country style had a worn collar. I revamped it with a traditional, cheerful yellow Provençal print featuring chickens and added patches at the bottom and on the side pocket for a more harmonious look.

I should have done this a long time ago, but I only had wool yarn on hand. This bamboo sock yarn is perfect for the purpose. And it doesn't matter if my dyed hair stains them pink!

I have half a mind to decorate the top of the headphones with the same yarn, but I don't know what motif... My embroidery skills are limited. Anyone have ideas? #visiblemending #repaircafe

A pair of grey noise cancelling headphones with very worn out foam pads. The foam is peeping out of the split and peeling faux leather. One side has been repaired by wrapping it in pink and red yarn. The other side is a third of the way done, a trail of yarn still attached to a needle. The ball of yarn is pictured next to the headphones.

Nice. I embroidered two little flowers on the other shoe.
They're hugging! There will be a purple patch on the toe cap so i left space for the patch. I'll probably add more flowers to the shoe once the patch is on.
#embroidery #flowers#visibleMending #upcycling

Two little flowers twisting around each other. One is light pink, the other one is dark pink. They both got a puffy yellow inner part. There's a mended hole on the toe cap, it's not very clean but it will be hidden by the patch anyway.

One more flower. This one is crocheted and then i stitched a little bead to the middle and embroidered around it. It's like a pink daffodil now.
#embroidery #flowers#visibleMending #upcycling

The same shoe as before but a little crocheted pastel pink flower got added to the shoe. Its stem is less delicate and it has a little orange bead in the middle, and it's got a pretty embroidered circle around it.

I also did another small repair on the jeanshorts of Loa's. I love how perfect this became. I'm getting more control of my stitches I think?

Edit: Wow this took off! Thank you everyone ❤️

Green running stitches across a tear in a pair of washed out jeans. It's perfectly a square with a corner of a pocket lid in one corner. Very symmetric, small, even though not all stitches are the same size, the edges of the little square is very straight.

The other shoe will have a big purple patch to hide my shitty job of mending the hole on the toe cap. It will have some sashiko embroidery and more flowers on it
